NAME
fpga_load - Xorcom Astribank (xpp) firmware tool
SYNOPSIS
fpga_load [-g] [-r] [-v] -D {/proc/bus/usb|/dev/bus/usb}/BUS/DEV
fpga_load [-g] [-v] -D {/proc/bus/usb|/dev/bus/usb}/BUS/DEV -I
firmware.hex [-b dump.bin] [-i]
fpga_load -h
DESCRIPTION
fpga_load loads the FPGA firmware to the Xorcom Astribank device. The
syntax resembles that of fxload(8).
OPTIONS
-b dump.bin
Before writing firmware, bump the processed binary file to
dump.bin.
-D DEVICE
Required. The device to read from/write to. On modern UDEV-based
system this is usually /dev/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num, where
bus_num and device_num are the first two numbers in the output
of lsusb(8). On older systems that use usbfs, it is usually
/proc/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num.
-r
Reset the Astribank and renumerate its USB connection to power
on product ID.
-g
Dump all eeprom data to standard output.
-I fireware_file
The firmware file to write to the device.
-i
Show information about the firmware file (valid only with -I
option). Example:
./FPGA_1151.hex: Version=3297 Checksum=58270
In particular, the calculated checksum should match the output
of sum(1) on the binary firmware file generated by the -b
option.
-v
Increase verbosity. May be used multiple times.
-h
Displays usage message.
